In the past week Seattle voters shift from Miller to Moore as Moore backers gain momentum. Attacks by Miller speakers and the Post-Intelligencer sparked thought and mobilized the previously indifferent. The Star predicts William Hickman Moore will win the mayoral race next Tuesday.
The Star laments the mudslinging in the mayoral race while The Post-Intelligencer, long Seattle’s conservative paper, claims it has become a yellow journal. The piece questions choosing a failed, bad-influence candidate and weighs managerial fitness.
A local editor attacks police department credibility amid rumors of Moore backing. The Post-Intelligencer runs a page showing Meads attempt to rally independents for Mackintosh, while Republicans debate candidates Calhoun Carroll and Prosser for city offices.
The text blends quirky phrases about money and scarcity with a melancholic reflection on a man left behind. It likens tears to a hollow laugh and rain to an insurance setback, hinting at neglect and a faltering sense of humor.
A U S Navy Yard excursion invites visitors aboard the Bound to tour battleships Oregon and Wisconsin and cruisers Colorado and Pennsylvania with the training ship Philadelphia and other craft. The Nebraska is due this week and the fleet may grow to about a dozen ships, with Hoats leaving Pier 3 at the foot of Youler Way six times daily for round trips.
The text reads like a fragmented social fragment with hints of flirtation and misdirected thoughts about a lost thought, a bachelor rumor, and a playful reference to a child and a strong man. It also mentions New and second hand guns for sale with a warranty as a stray ad detail.
Readers glimpse a collage of banter and folklore from Chicago and Washington papers. Seance chatter echoes as widows, knocker jokes, and clever retorts fill pages while a humor convention heads to Houston in May.
